What is negligence?

Negligence is a legal term which refers to means when a person or business does not use the ordinary standard of care that a person or business would use in a given situation.

a snow removal company using the wrong snowmelt materials in very cold weather

a construction company failing to safely install a retaining wall

a dog owner who does not confine their dog as required by the Pennsylvania dog law

A property owner or contractor who does not safely construct the walkway and someone falls because of the unsafe construction

A case may need a personal injury attorney when the negligence of another person or business entity causes injury or damage to you. A personal injury attorney proves negligence when a person or business does not use the care that an ordinary person or business would use in a given situation.

For instance, a reasonable person avoids rear-end collisions with other vehicles. A construction business would build a home that has the appropriate level of safety. Reasonable people keep their eyes on the road when driving.

Examples of negligence include the driver who rear-ends another vehicle, the dog owner who does not confine their dog as required by the Pennsylvania Dog Law, or the property owner or contractor who does not safely construct the walkway and someone falls because of the unsafe construction.

A negligence case does not require an intentional act that causes injury or damage. An intentional act could come under the umbrella of negligence. However, negligence occurs whenever a person or business does not use the appropriate amount of care that a reasonable person would use in their situation.

Pennsylvania law precludes juries from hearing the truth about civil lawsuits. Pennsylvania personal injury cases that result in civil lawsuits are not about the plaintiff trying to get money from the defendant. Unfortunately, that is what it looks like at trial when the only people at the defense table are the defendant and the defense attorney. The defense attorney is not even hired by the defendant as he or she represents the insurance company.

The defendant’s insurance company hires the defense attorney to represent their interests. Insurance is almost never permitted to be mentioned in a civil lawsuit even though the entire fight is about getting the insurance company to live up to its obligation to pay for the plaintiff’s injuries and damages. The defendant does not even have a choice as to whether the case settles. Their insurance company calls all the shots.

Pennsylvania law prevents the jury from learning that the fight is really all about insurance coverage, because of the fear that juries would issue higher verdicts. However, the policy to keep this information from the jury has resulted in lower verdicts because juries are worried that their verdicts will personally come from the defendant.
